Thank you so much for your kind words — I really appreciate it. I’m so glad you felt supported during our sessions and that you left feeling better each time. It was a pleasure working with you, and I’m grateful to have been part of your journey.
I was very nervous at first as had never been to a concellor and was 8n a really bad place .. But Anne was very easy to talk to , she made me very comfortable and at ease and reasured me everything was ok .. Let me express at my pace 😌 Send me self help guide on email where she didn't have to .... She really really listened and tbh things I'd forgotten I said the week she'd remember and rember particular names of people , events etc ..... She really is so good and actually cares
Thank you so much for sharing this — I truly appreciate your kind and thoughtful words. I know how difficult it can be to take that first step, especially when you’re in a tough place, so I’m really glad you felt comfortable and able to go at your own pace. It means a lot to hear that you felt listened to and supported — that’s so important to me. I’m grateful to have been part of your journey, and I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
I was having issues in my relationship and often felt unheard by my husband. Communication was a big struggle, and I felt quite alone in my marriage. Through my time with Anne, I realised I hadn’t been looking after myself and lacked belief in who I was, which showed up in my everyday life. With her support, I began to see things differently and make small changes. I now feel more confident, better able to communicate, and comfortable asking for help, which has made a real difference - i would highly recommend Anne
Thank you so much for sharing this — I really appreciate your honesty. I know how difficult it can feel to be in that place, so it’s wonderful to hear how much has shifted for you. You’ve done such important work in building your confidence and finding your voice. I’m really grateful to have been part of your journey, and I appreciate your recommendation.
Anne has been excellent support to me over the last few years. Her guidance has helped me in every area of my life. I could not recommend Anne enough.
Thank you so much for your kind words — I truly appreciate it. It’s been a privilege to support you over the years, and I’m really grateful to have been part of your journey.
I highly recommend Anne. She is very friendly, highly intuitive, empathetic, supportive, and really knows how to get to the core of problems.
Thank you so much for your recommendation — I truly appreciate your kind words. It means a lot to know you felt supported, and I’m grateful to have been part of your journey.
I’m so grateful for the support Anne has given me. I had never been to counselling before, but she made the whole experience feel so easy and comfortable from the start. She was incredibly kind, understanding, and easy to talk to — it honestly felt like talking to a friend. She created a safe, relaxed space where I felt able to open up without any pressure or judgment. She has really helped me, and I truly appreciate everything she’s done for me.
Thank you so much for your kind words — it truly means a lot. I’m really glad you felt comfortable and supported, and I appreciate you trusting me with your journey.
I attended Anne for anxiety and was feeling very overwhelmed about my future, often getting caught up in ‘what if’ thoughts. From the beginning, Anne had a very calming presence and helped me feel at ease. She introduced simple mindfulness techniques and practical tools that I could use when I started to overthink, which made a real difference day to day. What stood out most was how she explained why I was feeling the way I was—it helped me realise I wasn’t ‘losing it’, which was incredibly reassuring. I now feel more able to move forward, with a better understanding of myself and how I respond to things. I would highly recommend her.
Thankyou for your lovely words - I appreciate it a lot.

🌿 How to Love Yourself When You've Never Been Shown How
"Imagine you're holding the hand of your younger self. That little version of you—maybe 4, maybe 9, maybe 12—maybe older - who was doing their best in a confusing world. Loving yourself now begins with learning how to take care of them.”"Ask: What did that child need but never received? Comfort? Encouragement? Protection? Permission to feel?”"That’s where you start. With small, steady acts of care. Not grand gestures—just tiny, daily whispers that say: 'You matter now. I’m here for you.'”_______

You're Okay to Outgrow People: How Healing Sometimes Means Changing Your Circle
Sometimes healing doesn't look like journaling, drinking herbal tea, or doing yoga on a Sunday morning.Sometimes healing looks like distance. Like deleting a number. Like quietly letting go of that group chat that always left you feeling drained.And that’s okay.You’re not a bad person for outgrowing people. In fact, it’s one of the bravest and healthiest things we can do.Healing is deeply personal. It shifts your values, your energy, and your boundaries. And when that happens, not everyone can—o

“The Cost of Counselling: Is It Worth It?” – An Irish Perspective on Investing in Your Mental Health
"Sure isn’t therapy a bit much?"It's a question I hear regularly. Whether it’s during a casual chat over tea or from someone genuinely trying to weigh up their options, the cost of private counselling can feel like a hurdle — and I understand that.In an ideal world, access to mental health care would be available to everyone who needs it. But here in Ireland, like many parts of the HSE, we face long waiting lists, underfunded services, and very limited availability unless you’re in acute crisis.

Life Is on Loan – Cherish the Now
I had a thought recently while out walking: once we come into possession of something, it’s almost as if its purpose has already begun. From the moment we receive it, it starts its journey toward serving us – and eventually, toward letting go. Clothes fade, food spoils, relationships evolve, and material things lose their shine. Even we, as human beings, are not permanent. We are simply passing through this world – here to experience, to learn, to grow, and to leave our mark.Life’s true purpose
